A5                  E5
A normal day, everything seems all right 

  F#5                       D5
A thirteen year old, with a gun in his hand 

   A5                E5
He left for school, waving goodbye 

    F#5                     D5
Not knowing that now, there is no way back 

A5                         E5
All that was given, he'll take it away 

   F#5                      D5
He doesn?t even care, there are more to blame 

     A5                        E5
Then shoots a poor girl, that was running late 

    F#5                        D5                        E5
She falls and she bleeds, with no time, with no time to flea 


    A5            D5  
You don?t understand 

    E5 
You don?t understand 

A5               D5         F#5        E5
When you take a life, you are taking mine 

    A5            D5  
You don?t understand 

    E5 
You don?t understand 

A5               D5
What we?ve been growing 

     F#5          E5                A5
With patience and love has fallen apart 


    A5                      E5
The feeling of pain, never felt it before 

  F#5                            D5  
I know it?s not easy, that there isn?t a cure 

     A5                  E5   
Stop looking away, quit turning around 

F#5                        D5                        E5
Silence and violence would sure turn you down, ooooooh 


    
    A5            D5  
You don?t understand 

    E5 
You don?t understand 

A5               D5         F#5        E5
When you take a life, you are taking mine 

    A5            D5  
You don?t understand 

    E5 
You don?t understand 

A5               D5
What we?ve been growing 

     F#5          E5                A5
With patience and love has fallen apart

A5                      E5  
I filling my time with messages of hope

F#5                    D5
I filling my time with thoughts of love
